Apothecary Huang

Chapter 9

Huang Yu was still afraid of his father. He was prepared not to step out of the door in the future. There was always a reason for his father's words. If he hadn't been so lucky last time, he might have been killed. After that incident, his father often stayed at home because he was worried. Maybe he also felt that he was always busy with work and was not good at raising children.

However, just the next day, someone came to the house to pass on the message. It was the princess who was going to find Huang Yu. Huang Yu secretly looked at the messenger. This time, it was indeed the attendant of the princess. However, his father was there, and to be honest, he had decided to stay away from the princess. Therefore, he didn't plan to leave home anymore. Nevertheless, his father went into the room to find him for the first time. He allowed Huang Yu to go to play, but Huang Yu paid attention to the wounds and time. This made him more confused. Was his father afraid of offending the princess? Was the princess or a child? Would my father be afraid of her? Then for what reason? Did father scold him too much last time? Could it be that he couldn't figure it out, but now he really wanted to see the princess? No, he couldn't go back if he had made up his mind. If he let it go, Huang Yu was very sober. Therefore, Huang Yu hesitated and said to the messenger, "My feet couldn't move, and..." He looked at his father secretly, "No, the princess said that she must invite the young master over. She found the best medicine for you in the palace." Huang Yu wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, his father said, "Since the princess cares so much about you, you have to accept the princess' kindness. Go now." Huang Yu couldn't do anything about it. So he had to obey the order. Honestly, he had used his father's special foot which had been specially made by him. He could walk slowly the next day. In other people's eyes, it was certainly impossible. But in Huang Tai's family, it was a normal thing.

###Chapter9,Internal Conflict

He can see the princess again. Huang Yu is actually very happy inside. He also feels that he is happy. All he can do is to think,"In any case, I'm forced to see the princess now. There's nothing I can do. I can't blame myself this time. In the future I'll make up my mind not to see her anymore." Huang Yu jumps away with one leg. Originally he was afraid of going too far away from the princess and going to work for a while, but he didn't expect the princess to be waiting for him near his house. As soon as he sees her, she looks at his injuries with great pain. At this moment, Huang Yu stares at the princess and thinks,"The princess is really beautiful. How nice it would be if she could always be by my side." While he is still very confused, the princess immediately asks about his injuries but he doesn't reply. He only looks at the princess quietly. The concern and concern she has for him seem to relieve him of a lot of the pain.

They sat down on the stone bench on the side of the small road, and both of them began to talk side by side.

The Princess started to chat about Huang Yu's experience yesterday. She asked him if his Imperial Brother had promised him that he could give him something. After that, Huang Yu honestly replied. However, the Princess instead grew silent all of a sudden. She lightly broke a tree branch and lowered her head and started to play with the branch without saying anything.

Seeing that the princess suddenly stopped talking, Huang Yu didn't know why, so he also picked up a branch.

After some time, the Princess asked Huang Yu in a low voice,

"Then you only wanted to ask your emperor brother to avoid death?

To find out that gold medal is what you need most?"

Huang Yu felt that the princess's question was a little strange, so he answered,

"I didn't know anything else except the gold medal. I was very scared at that time, so I thought of the life-saving gold medal."

Hearing the sad words, the Princess continued in a low voice,

"Every time you don't want to see me, just because I am a princess. You are like those servants to me, to cater to me."

Huang Yu became silent. When he saw the princess' sad expression, he felt very sad. However, he couldn't tell the princess how much he missed her. As a result, he lowered his head and didn't say anything, only holding that branch.

The Princess was even more heartbroken. She threw the twig away and turned to leave.

Huang Yu slowly stood up. His heart was even more conflicted. Was he chasing?

"What should I say when I chase her?"

"Don't you chase him?"

The Princess would be even sadder.

The Princess was getting farther and farther away, but Huang Yu was still stunned there. At this time, he thought,

"My foot is injured, and I may not be able to catch up with the princess. Forget it, I can't be blamed."

Thus, he slowly walked home. Along the way, he kept thinking, but there was no result. His heart was getting more and more uncomfortable, more and more painful.

After that incident, the Princess did not look for Huang Yu again, who basically did not have the chance to leave his home. Huang Yu's feet recovered soon, but the pain in his heart was becoming more and more serious. Now whenever he had time, he would naturally think of the Princess. Without knowing, he would feel pain in his heart. Therefore he needed to learn constantly, practice martial arts all the time, and prevent himself from thinking further. Time passed day by day. Huang Yu's learning speed was rapidly improved, and he had mastered the knowledge of all the acupuncture points and meridians. He then remembered the old Imperial Preceptor's knowledge of mystical arts such as Divination and Bagua. But now he could not go out of his home, and did not know how the old Imperial Preceptor was doing. Finally, during a meal, Huang Yu asked his father about the old Imperial Preceptor. However, his father's answer surprised him again. He said that the old Imperial Preceptor had been put in prison.

What was wrong with that? Huang Yu was even more upset. The old National Master was his teacher. Usually, in addition to teaching him metaphysics and knowledge, the old National Master also taught him how to conduct himself, and he always taught him to be only second to his parents. At the thought of the kind face of the old National Master, Huang Yu really wanted to see his teacher. Of course, his father would not allow that. It seemed that something important happened in his words. Because his father often gave a long sigh. Just now he said to himself, "Alas, Grand Secretary Zhu was the senior statesman of several dynasties and the teacher of several emperors. He was called the old National Master for decades. I didn't expect that things would end up like this because of this." Why did the old National Master suddenly want to get out of prison? What on earth happened? These things had to start from the beginning.

In fact, since the arrival of the Gold Kingdom, the Song Kingdom had paid more attention to the current situation. Therefore the civil and military ministers had discussed it. When there was a dispute, there would be conflicts. Moreover, many important ministers had arranged their own affairs, so many of them began to calculate their own interests and began to plot. At this time, the group headed by Han Chi was the main battle group, which explained to the emperor that was a good opportunity to suppress the Jin Kingdom's loss. However, the court, with the old minister Prime Minister Zhao as the head, believed that it was not easy to peace. Moreover, the Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom had made a peace agreement. It was a shameless move that the Song Kingdom suddenly broke the agreement. Therefore, the two sides began to fight both openly and secretly.

The newly enthroned Ning Zong was introduced by Han You and Zhao Ru. Of course Han You knew his character well. He also wanted to use troops to reclaim the loss, and his name was known all over the world. He would then mention again the past things. When he talked about the matter of Yue Fei being killed, Prime Minister Zhao had stated that if he were to pursue General Yue, it would mean that the previous Emperor made a mistake. This would not have any substantial effect and would arouse public anger. What was more, according to his experience as a prime minister of several emperors of the Song Dynasty, he believed that the reason why General Yue was defeated and returned to the city for 12 gold medals was not because of the previous Emperor. There were indeed other factors behind his retirement. Therefore, he would not be regarded as loyal. Because General Yue was a well-trained man. He had killed countless enemies and cultivated the famous Yue army, which had made the golden soldiers lost their courage to deal with the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, he almost stirred up the Jin Kingdom's Huang Long. Such a wise man must have known that he would be captured when he returned to the city. Moreover, the army of the Jin Kingdom had collapsed, and all the important officials in the country had evacuated Yanjing. It was easy for the defeated army and the large number of refugees to defeat the Jin Kingdom. However, why did General Yue suddenly withdraw the army and go back to the court to admit his crime? There must be other unknown reasons for that. These people were able to prove that they had already known the result of his return. Therefore, General Yue couldn't blame the death of his old minister. This had already passed away.

But Han Song convinced Ning Zong with the pressure of the people, listened to the folk's poems, and hinted to Ning Zong that this matter had an impact on the reputation of the Great Song. He repeatedly emphasized that Ning Zong wanted to be a wise emperor and be remembered for a hundred generations, but no longer deliberately protected the fact that was impossible to hide, and became a curse like Qin Zhen. This was remembered by Ning Zong that what the emperor wanted, there was nothing that he couldn't pursue, only one, that was reputation. So Han Song's words were very useful. Ning Zong obviously heard them in his heart, so he carried Han Song.

In this way, the group headed by Prime Minister Zhao had been weakened in Ning Zong's heart. Han Xin began to collude with Prime Minister Zhao's subordinates. Although Prime Minister Zhao helped Ning Zong to take the throne, Prime Minister Zhao was in a prime position over the years. Besides, all the ministers saw that he was losing power gradually. The Emperor only considered him an important minister of the previous dynasty and favored him more and more, but gradually lost his momentum because of him. Therefore, most of Prime Minister Zhao's subordinates knew this in their hearts. Some of them had already taken sides against the Prime Minister Zhao, and some took sides to protect themselves from the court. However, a small number of people who were willing to contend with the increasingly powerful Han Tomb battle-in-chief faction, one of whom was the old national counselor.

The old national counselor was a senior statesman of several dynasties and teacher of emperors. It was not easy for Han Pian to kill him, but it was hard to ensure his success even if he didn't do it. He didn't achieve his goal. First, he planned to let Prime Minister Zhao be demoted by Ning Zong to Fu Xi. The reason of this matter was still because of Ning Zong's lasciviousness. He specially set up a place in the Imperial Palace where all the imperial concubines were allowed to be naked before having s*x there. However, such things were unknown to many people. Of course, Mr. Liu, who was often arranged for him, would certainly understand. This Mr. Liu was really not simple. He spent a lot of money to finally win him over. However, it was of great value. After he had won Mr. Liu's love, all the civil and military officials were already grateful for his talents. Mr. Han took advantage of this and deliberately let Prime Minister Zhao report when Ning Zong had his lusts. It turned out that Mr. Liu would definitely come to "Protect the judge" and calm the Prime Minister's report. But this time he left with a trap. Therefore, Mr. Zhao was arranged to enter Ning Zong's bedroom without any resistance by anyone and guards. As it could be imagined, when Ning Zong was doing that thing in front of his concubines, a Prime Minister Zhao suddenly appeared. Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to do.
